Often it’s very easy to see what movie a clone is copied from. Wolvesbayne features a clan of werewolves fighting evil vampires, with a heroic brunette. Unlike say Underworld which features a heroic vampire fighting werewolves. Completely different of course. But what was really needed was a selfish and annoying businessman to whine the whole…
Taintlight (2009)
My first impressions of this movie was ‘wait, this looks familiar’, and it soon dawned on me that I was watching yet another feature by the director of Blood Fart Lake. But I press on, hopeful that I could get a few laughs despite some crude humor. As expected, there’s pretty much the same level…
Last of the Living (2008)
Finally an indie movie that was done spectacularly. A quick browse through the movie showed that it was a lower budget, self-produced effort, but it’s readily apparent that they knew what they were doing. Right from the start the camera angles were spot on, and title overlays were done tastefully. Heck, the rule of thirds…
And Soon the Darkness (1970)
Few reviews feel as painful of a process as this one. I’ve had the title screen capped for months now, and if it weren’t for today’s original movie missing the final scene, I wouldn’t be scraping up movies I sort of watched just for an excuse to not re-watch a new one. Truth is, it…
Rejuvenatrix (1988)
Much like the Re-Animator (who’s popularity I imagine this film tried to play off of), Rejuvenatrix covers the issue of messing with a part of life that should not be meddled with. In the Re-Animator, it was death, but in this movie the concept of eternal youth and beauty is the main focus. The fountain…
Deadly Little Christmas (2009)
Sourcing Christmas movies that match this site’s focus proves to be slightly more difficult than finding Halloween movies. I suppose dealing with the actual holiday, there may be more, but for October all you need is a few rustling leaves and it works. I’m sure one of these days, I will grab Silent Night, Deadly…
Death Bed: The Bed that Eats (1977)
Death Bed is a mess of a movie. The concept is certainly bizarre, but that’s far from the oddest thing about this movie. Granted a foaming, chicken loving bed that gets indigestion is hard to top, but the presentation is so haphazardly thrown together, it’s hard to make sense even of the senseless. The main…
The Granny (1995)
The Granny is a fun film. It’s completely absurd and over the top while adding in some irreverent humor and ridiculous characters. It’s a traditional story of revenge mixed with demon possession. I first found this at a video store that was still predominantly VHS driven, while the rest of the world was moving to…
Alien Contamination (1980)
So, in 1979 this guy named Ridley Scott came out with this movie called Alien. A claustrophobic, frightening and surreal tour-de-force, Alien was a one of a kind film that redefined the scifi/monster movie genre. Spawning numerous sequels, spin-offs, literature, and even video games, the Alien franchise is still very much alive and well. However,…
Wilderness Survival for Girls (2004)
This is one of those movies where you figure it’s purely exploitative. Not I’m not saying it isn’t at all, but it’s hardly the point of the film. I’m sure a certain amount of false pretense was used to lure in viewers, so they would sit long enough for the plot to unravel, and that’s…
